    Better yet, stop linking to these crappy sites.

    How am I the sexual deviant here? You are the one asking dudes on the internet to suck your dick and you're the one wanting your wife to flaunt her tits in public. I'm just an innocent bystander.

  4. Re:whois nudebook.com on Facebook Nudity Policy Draws Nursing Moms' Ire · · Score: 1

    No, the great thing is that I can and does happen! Google ("kid free zone" "public place").

    Anyway, If you want your dick sucked, get your wife to do it for you. Hey, you can make it a family event! Your wife can suck you off while she breast feeds your child. Your man gravy will provide nourishment to her which she'll pass on through her breast milk. The cycle of life is a beautiful thing, just keep that shit behind closed doors.

  5. Re:whois nudebook.com on Facebook Nudity Policy Draws Nursing Moms' Ire · · Score: 1

    Hungry babies have various habits which make EVERYONE in their immediate vicinity suffer when not fed.

    Suffer is a good word for it. Nothing worse than being in a public place and having to put up with someone else annoying brats that won't shut the fsck up. I say we ban kids from public places... as a bonus you'd never have to deal with seeing breast feeding because there would be no kids around to breast feed!!! Maybe that's a bit extreme, but I'd be all for having designated "kid" and "no kid" areas in public places, just like they used to have with "smoking" and "no smoking" areas.

  6. Connect it to the Web on Interesting Uses For a USB LED Screen? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Connect it to the web and allow anonymous people to send you messages which will be displayed on your device. Here's a website already doing this, maybe it'll give you some ideas:

  7. Re:Unobtrusive on Hellgate Beta's In-Game Ads Raise Eyebrows · · Score: 1

    Didn't notice the ads really, but maybe that's because I was too distracted by the god awful lighting and shadows.

    In "Screenshot 1" look at the character named Dotter. The lighting on her face and clothes would make you think the light source is to her right, but the shadow she casts on the floor is the complete opposite of where it should be for that light source. Looks terrible.

  8. Re:DX9 looks better? on DX10 - How Far Have We Come? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When you consider the FPS differences of the tests, it's not a fair comparison of the abilities of each each API.

    On one test the DX9 version was running at 110fps and the DX10 version running at 30fps. The DX10 version damn well better haver higher image quality if it takes nearly 4 times as long to render a scene. Push the DX9 version futher by throwing more polygons and more complex shaders at it until you reach the performance of the DX10 version, THEN do a comparison. You'll find that there is precious little image quality difference between the two when you're pushing BOTH versions to their limits. The DX9 version might even look better.

  9. Anandtech has gone to the crapper... on "Budget" Chips go Head-to-Head · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I mean, damn, $17-$19 is pretty good for Help Desk, even if it is bilingual, but anyone who is familiar with all of the items on that list should make more than God himself. Of course, the poster of this probably works for Kelly Services anyway.

    I was thinking the same thing:

  16. Re:Ah... those were the days :-) on Video Card History · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually there were 4 planes, and you could set a variety of resolutions besides 320x240 by tweaking the vga registers. One of my favorites was 512x384 because it was relatively high resolution with square pixels, but unfortunately it didn't work on all monitors. 320/360x400/480 were pretty stable and were used in Quake. 320x400 was used for the Win9x startup screen.

  17. Solution on Norton Antivirus 2004 Ad Blocking - Tough Call? · · Score: 1

    1) Find a way to detect when NAV2004 is used to block ads on your site.
    2) Use this technique to calculate how much revenue you've lost due to NAV2004.
    3) Send bill to Symantec and demand they reimburse you for revenue lost due to their product.
    4) ???
    5) Profit!!!

  18. It's so hard to pick just one as the worst... on Which Adware and Spyware are the Most Insidious? · · Score: 1

    I don't know if "dialers" are considered spyware or adware, but some dialers are pretty nasty. A friend of mine had a dialer installed on his system that would dial an offshore ISP using a 1-900 number at some absurd rate ($99.99 an hour or something like that). The dialer only activated when the computer was idle, such as when the computer was left on over night. It wasn't detected until after it had racked up over $1000 in calls.

    Most spyware/adware is just a nuisance, but dialers take it to a whole new level.

    A better solution is to use something like Bandwidth Arbitrator to throttle back the network bandwidth that is available to users that are abusing resources.

  20. Blame Microsoft on OpenSSL Security Vulnerability · · Score: 1, Troll

    Blame Microsoft... I bet they have "moles" in the open source community intentionally creating these vulnerabilities to deflect some attention away from the problems with their own software.

    BTW, I can find a MS conspiracy theory in anything, ex. the moderator that MODs this post down is a MS fanboy.

  21. Smokers are at the root of the SPAM problem... on Anti-Spam Bill Killed In California · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Quote from fark.com:

    "Just finished deleting another dose of SPAM from my inbox - enlarge this, reduce that, free diploma, fix credit, blahblahblah... ad nauseum. I realize that SPAM (as well as telemarketing calls and junk mail) is such an epedimic because it actually works. Someone, somewhere, must be making money off it. I often wonder what type of person buys into the spammers spiel. My guess is that it is the same people that bought into the tobacco company's spiel. I mean, if you can sell someone a CARCINOGEN!, surely you can sell them anything. Sending penis cream SPAM to a smoker must be like money in the bank.

    So, the next time you get fed up with the amount of SPAM in you inbox, march down to the nearest designated smoking area and kick a smoker in the nuts. You'll feel much better, because, truly, smokers are to blame for SPAM."

    I find it hard to believe that someone that reads /. would actually choose to use Gator. I could see the average computer user getting suckered into using it, but /. readers supposed to be smarter than the average computer user, aren't they? Maybe you are just trolling?

  24. Slashdotted! on How to Make a Starship Enterprise out of a 3.5" Floppy · · Score: 1

    "Maybe you guys should start mirroring the sites you link to..."

    That would be the polite thing to do. You wouldn't have to mirror the entire site, just the first page that is linked to would be fine (including images of course). The mirror should stay up as long as the original page is linked from the front page of slashdot.org. After the story moves off the front page the mirror could be deleted and the link would point to the original site.

    I know this could be expensive for slashdot.org, but maybe it would lead to some Quality over Quantity for stories that actually get posted here.
